Abstract: Flushing is a pavement surface defect that affects the structural integrity of thin-sprayed seal (chip seal) surfacings. Analysis was carried out on pavement performance data to determine the combination of factors that ...

Abstract: The reported study was undertaken to investigate the micromechanical interactions that occur between sprayed seal (chip seal) layer materials in order to examine their relationship to the initiation of flushing. In particular, ...

Abstract: In the reported study the viability of using computed tomography (CT) scanning for assessing flushing defects in thin sprayed seal (chipseal) surfacings was explored. The study was undertaken to investigate the micromechanical ...
